June 11 School Council meeting summary
Budget:
The Fern School Council approved the budget for 2009 - 2010 at the June 11 School Council meeting.
Thanks to all those who participated in the process. Most especially our Treasurer Sally Brady and our Secretary Carol Paulker.
The Council has budgeted approximately $13,000 in expenses for 2009 - 2010 with a surplus of approximately $1,500 (please note this does not include money already put aside for the playground and the COC Opera Trust).
This year's budget represents a roughly 30% decline in spending over 2008 - 2009 and we hope parents will be able to help us with additional fundraising in the coming year.
Thanks again and we look forward to working with everyone again next year.

Events:
Fern parent volunteers were once again involved in two recent very successful events - the Spring Concert and the Fun Fair.
A special thanks Diane Nicholson and the other organizers of the Fun Fair - the feed back received from both parents and students was excellent. Everyone had a great time and we appreciate the work everyone at Fern put in to making the event so much fun (and the Fun Fair was also an excellent fundraiser as well!).
The Spring Concert was also a lot of fun - and as a proud Eco-School we featured bike power. Thanks to Fern parent Christopher Robin for donating the generating system and to the parents, teachers and students who rode the bikes (including mine!). The School Council also managed to raise some funds with a pizza and cookie sale.
